Last April, I wrote a blog article about what I called Kamikaze Cycle Lanes<\/a>. These are cycle lanes that force a cyclist to swerve out across a traffic flow, and I said I thought these were very dangerous. I even wrote to the local Highways Authority about them (among other things), but they didn’t seem very interested<\/a> in doing anything about it.<\/p>\n

In that article, I included a video of my own, showing an example of a bus cutting me up in such a cycle lane. That was from before I started ignoring the cycle lane and riding in the centre of the inside lane instead.<\/p>\n

This morning, I saw that Croydon Cyclist<\/a> had linked to a video that unfortunately illustrates even more effectively why cycle lanes like this are particularly dangerous:<\/p>\n
